Two University of Colorado professors, one from Boulder and one from Denver, have put together an Electoral College forecast model to predict who will win the 2012 presidential election and the result is bad news for Barack Obama. The model points to a Mitt Romney victory in 2012.
Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, the two political science professors who devised the prediction model, say that it has correctly forecast every winner of the electoral race since 1980.
"Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble," Bickers said in a press statement.
To predict the race's outcome, the model uses economic indicators from all 50 states and it shows 320 electoral votes for Romney and 218 for Obama, according to The Associated Press. The model also suggests that Romney will win every state currently considered a swing state which includes Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Colorado.
The professors' model shows a very different picture than what current data suggests. Currently, The Huffington Post's Election Dashboard shows Obama with 257 electoral votes to Romney's 191 with only six "tossup" states including: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
Berry cautions that just because the model has worked in the past, doesn't mean it will work this time.

As the photo itself clearly states the origin, you can go fuck yourself, you lair. This is why your party is dying.
Ya know, its only gonna take about 5 minutes for the regrets to set in should Windsock Mitt take office. The greatest modern political delusion extant is that there is a substantive difference between him and Obummer.
Big drops in Wisconsin and Ohio.
Never fear; Obama will win both of those states and the Presidency.
Four, eight, twelve...more years of this clusterfuck is guaranteed regardless of which empty suit gets to sit in the big chair.Ya know, its only gonna take about 5 minutes for the regrets to set in should Windsock Mitt take office. The greatest modern political delusion extant is that there is a substantive difference between him and Obummer.
I understand your point... but... given that a third party vote is basically saying you want four more years of this clusterfuck... and given that Romney is not a DC insider, and therefore, far more likely to make the kinds of decisions that the insiders on either side have avoided for decades, Romney is the best option in 2012. Tell everyone you're voting for a third party - but when it's just you and the ballot.... for the love of this country - pull the fucking lever for Romney. We cannot give Obama the opportunity to put in 2 new SCJs. We just cannot.

Obama gained slightly in CO, lost ground in FL, level in IA, lost ground in MI, level in NH, level in NV, gained slightly in OH, lost ground in WI, lost ground in VA.
Obama lost ground in 4 swing states, only gained in 2.
He is struggling and his attack ads I think are hurting him. I maybe wrong but Romney is looking like the good guy and Obama is appearing to be an asshole.
